Can I switch my 8 cameras on quickly if they are in Scheduled Off mode?

[infxus_526718381043955]

Hi, so I have 8 Argus Eco’s on solar and they work great. I have them scheduled off during the day as I’m home a lot. Is there a way I can enable them easily if I go out? I’ve tried setting up an all on mode but it doesn’t override the schedule. If it did then just defaulted back to schedule at the next time, that would be perfect. I really don’t want to have to go through the schedule menu to enable/disable every time I go out.

You can try to use the scene mode to set the home/away mode. When you slip down the device homepage on the APP, you can see the settings. You can read this article for more details, https://support.reolink.com/hc/en-us/articles/360026049414-What-is-Scene-Mode-and-How-to-Set-the-Scene-Mode-for-Your-Cameras-on-Reolink-App.

@reolink-fiona thank you but the Scene mode doesn’t appear to over ride the Scheduled off. Should it because that work be perfect?

The mode can only control the enable/disable push notification button. If you don't enable the schedule, it will not send push notifications.

You can enable all the schedules and set up the scene mode. Then when you are away, you can just enable the "away mode".

@reolink-fiona so your saying the camera will still record motion but not send a push notification if scheduled is enabled and in scene “away” mode?

I was looking for the same thing and found this thread.
I think what they are saying is to leave the schedule "always on", and just use scenes to activate/deactivate (correct me if wrong).
It would be quite useful to have the possibility to ignore the schedule completely and have push or recording on/off independently.
Arlo do that for instance with their cameras where you can set mode as always on (Armed), always off (Disarmed), or as per Schedule.

@seb_526812765704330 Your suggestion of using just the scene mode is really counterintuitive to the whole schedule option. I don’t want to have to turn the cameras on and off every day hence why they have the schedule option. I want the schedule to happily do it’s thing and I just want to easily override the schedule when I go out. Can’t be that hard and I’m very surprised others aren’t wanting this as well.

If they just made the scene mode override the current schedule, that would be perfect. I could set an all on when I go out and it simply defaults back to the schedule at the next event.

I totally agree with you, it's not "my solution", it's what I understand Reolink support is telling you, but I may be wrong.
